architecture, and in st. Georges Square are
monuments to Sin John Moore. SIR Robert
Peel, Lord Clyde and James Watt, all OF
whom are natives of Glasgow. The city is
well provided with large and inviting
parks, the principal ones being the Kelvin,
Green Park and Queens Park. Near
Queens Park the battle of Langside was

of poor Mary Of Scots. From Green Park
Csstlemilk is pointed out as the place
where she spent the night before the battle
and from the Queens seat" on Catlin

her unfortunate followers. From Glasgow
we made an Interesting aud enjoyable "trip
down the Clyde. Going to Greenock by

Mary" of Burns, is buried in the old
churchyard here. Sailing down the
Firth of Clyde we pass Hellensburgh,

the shore numerous beautiful villas be-
longing to citizens OF Glasgow, until

the remains OF a once famous castle of the
Argyles, and the residence of the present
Duke of Argyle is close by. Leaving
Dunoon and passing around Toward Point,
we see the UNCOVERED ruins OF Toward
Castle Then entering the kyles OF
Butte we come to Rothesay in the Island
Butte considerable Butte sbute that, butte
what does it matter). The Marquis resides
near Rothesay, and is one of the wealthiest

Earl of Ellington, and made By bim into
rabbit warren. Leaving Cumbfay, we
soon see the large island of Arran. This
island is twenty miles long and Twelve
broad, and is owned by the Duke OF Ham
ilton. 1t is a great resort for the people of
Glasgow during the summer, and as the
land is highly cultivated and valuable, the
Duke is not expected to suffer for the nee
essaries of life, even If the winter should be
hard one. Brodick Castle, owned by the
Duke, will be remembered in connection
with Scott's Lord of the Isles" TIE
poet Robert Burns lived at Ayr, on the
mainland, almost opposite Arran. Poor
Burns The world which has so honored
him in death was not always
kind to him in life; indeed,
he was not always kind to himself. But,

fish hearts to-day. His monuments are to
be found in every city and his songs are
heard on every side. TIE Land OF the
Thistle, Bonnie old Scotland, does not fail
| IN due honor to her talented sons. Old
| Scotia is indeed a grand old country, with
grand old history, and, while memory
lasts, / shall not forget my pleasant sojourn
within her borders. But am wandering
| from the subject; was forgetting that am
describing the excursion upon the Clyde.
We are now at the end of Arran, and must
either continue on across the North Chan
mel to Belfast, or return to Glasgow; and,
/ this time, we go back to Glasgow, having
made the visit to Ireland on former occa-
sion. from Glasgow, without stopping, we
| hastily retrace our steps home to Edin-
burgh, after one of the most enjoyable
| trips known to Scotland or any other
/ country.
| We remained quietly in Edinburgh for
q few days, and during that time had the
| pleasure of attending a reception at Holy
rood Palace given by the Earl of Hope
town, Lord High Commissioner mot Lord
High Executioner), for Scotland. But we
were soon on the wing again, and the fol-
lowing morning started for London by the
Great Northern and South Coast Line.

Prestonpsns, where Prince CHARLIE de.
feated the English in 1745, and little

Berwick stands on the frontier
